Caroline Chouler-Tissier

Caroline Chouler-Tissier’s narrative interrogates trauma and its impacts, both personal and social. She explores place, through the emotional energy of loss and the solace of close contact with rural landscape.

Through an investigation of raw, hand-cut extrusion plates and mixed clay extrusions, Chouler-Tissier’s practice interrogates the materiality of clay, capturing the dynamics of a disrupted making process; of thrown, hand-built or slip-cast elements, including shards from the making and salvaged, found pieces from land and seashore. Layered discordant glaze processes with an emotionally fuelled, gestural application, build intensity and complete each work.
